Pub on Forest Hill Road in East Dulwich, just south of Peckham Rye Park.
It's quite smart inside, with polished floorboards, big leather sofas, and lots of dark wood. There's a beer garden of some kind out the back. According to the Southwark News review linked below, they have board games too.
Kake visited early on a Monday evening in October 2008. Although they have at least two handpumps, they only had Spitfire on, so I had a pint of Strongbow (£3.20) instead.
Their main chef is off on Mondays, so a reduced menu is served instead. Not sure of food times, but at least on a Monday there's a break in the middle of the afternoon with food service resuming at 5pm. I had a ham and cheese baguette (£4.25, though advertised as £3.50 on the menu as the prices had gone up recently), and took the option of having it toasted. It was good, made with decent quality ingredients. It came with mustard, mayo, a side salad, and long, thin, crispy, presalted (but not too much) fries.
Service was very friendly and helpful. There were a few other customers in but I had no competition for the sofa. Piped music was playing but not too loudly.
Slightly alarmingly, a notice in the toilets stated that on Friday and Saturday nights, "random searches are in operation for your safety and ID will be required to gain entry"; there's also a "smart casual" dress code on those nights, with hats, caps, and tracksuits being banned.
Accessibility: A couple of steps up to get in, but it's all level once you're in.
